Market Street Improvements

I am absolutely elated about the Market Street Improvment trials that will begin tomorrow by closing eastbound car access on Market, 7 days a week for the next 6-12 months. Last week, car traffic was backed up as traffic diverting signs were installed. Tomorrow, as I commute down Market Street, I'll ride with less cars, less stress and a big ass smile on my face. Here are a few questions that haven't been answered about this most awesome of city planning projects:

• Will the west bound bikes be on the left of the west bound cars?
• How will the right turns at 6th, and 8th be enforced (we all know signs and barricades aren't enough to stop eager and frustrated drivers)?

I'm so looking forward to tomorrow's commute and providing feedback on this brilliant project. Happy Day!

SF Bike Plan is Approved!

Watch the MTA hearing that resulted in the passage of the Bike Plan today! This is really exciting- see all your friends, neighbors, local leaders, and people from all bikes of life speaking up for the bike plan. Transit first is happening. Think of all the cars off the road because the city is safer to cycle. Happy Day! Some highlights:
